Stress and cognition
Stress can affect cognition in many ways, with the outcome (i.e., facilitating or impairing) depending on a combination of factors related to both stress and the cognitive function under study. Among the factors identified as particularly relevant to defin ...
Wiley-Blackwell2013Plastic modifications within inhibitory control networks induced by practicing a stop-signal task: an electrical neuroimaging study
Inhibitory control refers to our ability to suppress ongoing motor, affective or cognitive processes and mostly depends on a fronto-basal brain network. Inhibitory control deficits participate in the emergence of several prominent psychiatric conditions, i ...
2013Histone acetylation: molecular mnemonics on the chromatin
Long-lasting memories require specific gene expression programmes that are, in part, orchestrated by epigenetic mechanisms. Of the epigenetic modifications identified in cognitive processes, histone acetylation has spurred considerable interest. Whereas in ...
2013Dynamic reconfiguration of human brain functional networks through neurofeedback
Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Frank Scharnowski, Rotem Roza Kopel
Recent fMRI studies demonstrated that functional connectivity is altered following cognitive tasks (e.g., learning) or due to various neurological disorders. We tested whether real-time fMRI-based neurofeedback can be a tool to voluntarily reconfigure brai ...
Elsevier2013Modelling and Optimizing the Process of Learning Mathematics
This paper introduces a computer-based training program for enhancing numerical cognition aimed at children with developmental dyscalculia. Through modelling cognitive processes and controlling the level of their stimulation, the system optimizes the learn ...
Springer2012Assessing printability of a very-large-scale integration design
Paul Hurley, Juri Ranieri, Robin Scheibler, Krzysztof Kryszczuk
Printability of a very-large-scale integration design is assessed by: during a training phase, generating a training set of very-large-scale integration design shapes representative of a population of very-large-scale integration design shapes, obtaining a ...
United States Patent and Trademark Office2012Neural mechanisms and computations underlying stress effects on learning and memory
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Gediminas Luksys
Stress has complex effects on memory function that can vary depending on the type of information that is learned and in relation to inter-individual characteristics. Recent work has also shown that stress can switch performance between memory systems, bias ...
2011Learning, Stress and the Role of Personality Profiles in Rats
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Basira Salehi
Stress has been shown to modulate many aspects of physiology and behavior. In particular, substantial work has confirmed that stress is a strong modulator of learning and memory processes. It is more than a century that Yerkes and Dodson have shown that re ...
EPFL2010Curiosity Cloning: Neural Analysis of Scientific Knowledge
Touradj Ebrahimi, Ashkan Yazdani, Leopoldo Rossini
Event-related potentials (ERPs) are indicators of brain activity related to cognitive processes. They can be detected from EEG signals and thus constitute an attractive non-invasive option to study cognitive information processing. The P300 wave is probabl ...
2009Manipulation of the participants' self-localization in a lying position
Healthy human beings are aware of their current position space and are able to distinguish their own body from that of other persons or objects. This capability arises from a coupling of sensory information with cognitive processes, and leads to a represen ...
